Chicago, November 22.--An unknown
two mdsted schooner is sunk in forty feet
of water one mile aud half abreast Of

q soul was saved of her crew. Judging
from the size of the vessel, it is probable
that not less than five men manned her
when she fouudered. From what can be
seen of her hull, she lies as if riding water
logged ut anchor. She is painted white,
and probably was good sized lumber car

fog being over the lake and il WAS difficult
to see n boats length ahead. About
eight o'clock the Kenosha was passed and
few minutes later Capt. Gilman passed
two tall spars standing perpendicularly up
out of the sea. The City of LudingtOn
was going along at a rapid pace, and be
